Title :
Three years statistics of refractive index gradient and effective Earth radius factor for the state of Bahrain
Author_Institution :
Bahrain Univ., Manama, Bahrain
Abstract :
The statistical determination of the effective Earth radius factor as well as the refractivity lapse rate is presented. Some indication of seasonal, diurnal and annual variations are also given. Profiles of temperature and dew point at different levels of pressure were measured every 12 hours
